(2016 vintage notes)

YL Rosé reveals a bright, very pale pink color and an intense, fruity nose, opening with delicate aromas of red fruits. The palate is fresh, delicious, slightly tart, and has a slight sparkle that is characteristic of the estate. A rosé of choice for the summer season!

About the estate:

An oenologist involved in the revival and promotion of island wines, Yves Leccia created his own estate in 2005, after running the family business with his sister for around fifteen years. Today, he and his wife Sandrine manage a 16-hectare vineyard on clay-limestone and schist soils in Poggio-d'Oletta. Certified organic since 2017, it is one of the pillars of the Patrimonio appellation, often in the spotlight for its Muscat wines.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Yves Leccia and his partner Sandrine run a vineyard located mainly on the E Croce and Partinelone plots. The entire area is plowed and worked, and organic fertilizers are used. The estate has been very innovative in recent years with new wines such as O Bà, Biancu Marinu, and L'Altru Biancu. These carefully crafted wines remain excellent ambassadors for Corsican viticulture, but care must be taken not to obscure their individuality: some wines, more standardized than in the past, give pride of place to technicality.
